Question about print sequence

[mroschk]

Hello,

i have attached a STL File and the problem is at Line 32167.
Here you can see he prints first a layer in the middle and without any hold the layer starts in the Air and
falls down for sure.
Is there any setting to say the printer to start such things from outside to inside ?

Thanks
Matthias

turn on supports

[mroschk]

hmm, for sure, but it is always to hard to remove the Support. so i dont want that

[horst.w]

.... Turn ON Support ...

and set
- Horizontal Distance to 0.5 mm
- Upper Vertical Separation Layer to 2

- Resolution to 1.0

If you attache your factory-file, others can see your setting concerning temperatures, speeds, a.s.o. what has influence to print it fine.
Never print this model as stand alone. Anytime add a 2nd object in some distance to win cooling time.

Supported parts and the needed tool to remove ...

[mroschk]

Hello,

thanks, i will try.
But i added the factory file here, maybe tere is also anything else wrong.

Having looked at the part you are printing, I cannot see it printing without some form of support under the large downward facing shoulder.

Is there a setting that can add some waiting time in after each layer, to not use material for an extra object?

Maybe you can do something like that using the layer change script. But moving the extruder away, waiting and coming
back will probably introduce some ooze problems...

But you can reduce material usage easily: Instead of duplicating the object you can take a small box and scale it accordingly.



Quick example of what I mean. The tower would take ~50cm of material, the benchy around 2.3m in that case. You could
reduce this further by assigning a second process to print the scaled box ("tower") with less shells, no infill and no top
layers.

(Sorry I didn't mention this in the other thread going on - but there was so much going on already...)
